Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Spending Father's Day with Mr. Lee

Lee and I went to Forest Park earlier this morning to play basketball and walk through the park. At 9 AM as usual I phone my friend Roy in Brooklyn. Later today we will go to see Rock of Ages at the local multiplex. A few years ago we saw the Broadway show. After that we will go to Ben's Deli in Bayside where today dads can eat for 40 cents. I think I have given them enough business over the years, so I have earned a free meal from them.

If course I miss my Dad who passed away in 1997.

Below is a Youtube video of Color Him Father by the Winstons. A few years ago Lee sent an e-mail to Sue O'Neal to play it on Father's Day on WCBS-FM. Last night Cousin Brucie played it on SiriusXM.
